Post-match reaction

Kieran Trippier

It’s a nice feeling to get the win. The past few weeks have been difficult for us players to take. We know how important today was for us - Alex was back in the side, and he played unbelievable.

[On the Wolves goal] It was poor from me really. We’ve got great togetherness in the squad, and my teammates picked me up when I needed it. That’s what team sport’s all about, and I’m thankfully to Miggy for putting the ball in the net.

Alexander Isak

[Did you feel ike you were approaching your best today?] Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I’ve been wanting to play more, but that’s given me a bit of fuel so I was happy to start today and happy that we got the three points as well.

I’ve had to be patient but I’ve been working hard – the team have been playing well but we haven’t got the results. Today was all about winning. [How good was Trippier’s ball for the goal?] Yeah yeah, I was happy to have him as my assist man today! He has a great right foot, and it was a good header as well.
